Montana ran the ball eight times and threw it three times on opening drive. Montana has been much more balanced offensively this year, but I'm not sure anyone expects the Grizzlies to beat the 'Cats at their own game: pounding the ball on the ground.

Grizzlies open second drive with another run. If they can pound the ball effectively, that's a major storyline to watch.

Montana State head coach Jeff Choate has said he wants the Bobcats' identity to be running the ball and stopping the run. MSU just came up with a stop on third and 1 on a Montana run up the middle. UM lines up to punt.
